I had an HP printer I bought and wanted to see if it worked after not using it for a few months. The cartridges gave the printer new life and have worked well.
The first of the cartridges is in the printer and it prints with gaps of white. Have tried reinstalling it twice. Directions do not include troubleshooting. This is not the first purchase or install. Have had HP printer for a few years.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello Gram,
While it is great that you got the order in a timely manner, I'm so sorry that you had troubles with the first cartridge.
Usually printing problems like that are due to clogs in the printhead, not something wrong with the cartridge itself. You can run the cleaning routine from the printer's menu to clear out the clogs. It might need to be run more than once if the inkjets are badly clogged.
If it does appear to be the cartridge, step-by-step instructions for completing the return and exchange process is covered at: store.hp.com/us/en/cv/returnsandexchanges
This print cartridge is necessary if you have a 5 cartridge photosmart printer, but isn’t included in any print cartridge packages. It must be bought separately for the printer to print in both black and white and color. It should come with print cartridge packages. I don’t know why they make you buy it separately.
